Did I ever tell you that I LOVE vampires, way before this whole Twilight & True Blood movement. I just always have since my cousins in South Philadelphia introduced my sheltered 10-year-old self to the movie “Blacula”. I was hooked:)

Well in keeping with the popularity of vampires lately, there’s a great article I found on Copyblogger all about using “vampire words” that suck the life out of your writing.

Vampire words a.k.a. qualifiers are words that we tend to use when we are a little afraid to make a bold statement about something. We use them in everyday language, and we definitely use them in our writing. I have been guilty of this myself too. For instance, you can find several articles of mine using the vampire word: fairly. Ugh!

Want to read the whole vampire word list and how to avoid making this life-sucking mistake in your writing? Read the entire post here: http://www.copyblogger.com/vampire-words/

    Thanks for the link to my piece! 🙂 I think I’m a secret vampire fan … I like roll my eyes and pretend it’s all a little beneath me, but I’m seriously enjoying True Blood at the moment…

      I see we are very much both alike. People are like “You Lisa – vampires?”. Little do they know!

    Got love those vampire movies and even some of the series.

    I must admit that I use vampire words as well and didn’t even realize it. I guess I better pay closer attention to my writing. I’ll jump over to copyblogger and read that post now, thanks.
